Hierarchical relationship of Sharia and Criminal Justice

Religion and Justice in Reason are contradictory. Justice means getting what you deserve; that is, what you have earned by your own thoughts and actions. Reality is the standard. Religion is based on a mystical view of a supernatural realm. It necessarily apeals to force to promote its views. When a government is based on religion there is no room for justice.
